'Facebook dispute' led to Queensland man allegedly being shot with arrow

An argument on Facebook is believed to have led a Queensland man to allegedly shoot another man through the arm and chest with a compound bow.

Daniel O'Neill said he and his friend went to 37-year-old Jay Shingles' home in the Moreton Bay suburb of Lawnton yesterday afternoon after Mr Shingles had issued a Facebook warning about taking revenge, The Courier Mail reports.

"It's going to be on tonight. Fear is my best friend. I love that s--t," Mr Shingles wrote.

Mr O'Neill said he and his 40-year-old friend were waiting outside Mr Shingles' Ellis Street home to confront him about his online warning when he appeared at the front of the property.

"Next thing you know, he's out the front of the house. So (the friend) gets out of the car and next thing I know I couldn't see him – he was down with an arrow through his arm – it went straight through it," Mr O'Neill told the newspaper.

After going through the 40-year-old's arm the arrow pierced his chest, police will allege.

The victim was taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital where he was recovering in a stable condition last night.
